Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly (D-Bergen, Passaic) issued the following statement on the passing of Congressman Elijah Cummings:
“Representative Cummings was a tireless and timeless leader for not only Baltimore but for all communities across the nation. He inspired many to stand with him, including myself. He gave a voice to the voiceless and worked to lift up those who needed a hand. His legacy will live on in each of us and his passing leaves an immeasurable hole in Washington politics and in today’s fight for justice everywhere. We are blessed to have witnessed the rise of an extraordinary man and servant of the people.”
